Learned helplessness in doctors with dyslexia: Time for a change in discourse?
Dyslexia may be defined as a “learning difficulty that specifically impairs a person's ability to read … despite having normal intelligence” (National institute of neurological disorders and stroke, 2011; Dyslexia International, n.d.). It is a Specific Learning Difficulty (SpLD), which has an estimated international preva lence of 10% (Dyslexia International, n.d.; Wray et al., 2012). Within the United Kingdom (UK), it is protected by the Equality Act of 2010 and, therefore, employers are required to make reasonable adjustments to enable individuals with dyslexia to reach their full potential within their jobs (Great Britain, 2010).
